Week 2 Top Ten and Key Game Predictions

Week 2 Top Ten and Key Game Predictions

This is probably one of my favorite things to do is predict games.  I am one of the few who take a chance and predict the results of game.  What I normally do is predict the winner and a guess by how much the team will win by.  Every week I post on Sunday/Monday the recap of how I did and keep a running record to keep myself accountable.  I will start 3A next week.  When I predict scores, I try and guess the difference, but I also have some reasoning.  Usually if I have it under 10 points, I believe it will be a very close game and could go to either team.  (11-21) I still believe these will be good games but lean more to the favorite (team I picked).  (22-31) could be a good game early on but I believe the favorite will pull away late.  (32 and up) I don’t believe will be close.  Remember this is all for fun and as you see I am wrong.  Good Luck to all teams
